Fg 5.4L Cams

[Tocchi]

hey guys, very tempted to install cams.

I will have to speak to my chosen tuner to speak in detail, but before that, I would like some info before I call so I have some options on cams etc

which are the best 'off the shelf' grind for the boss 290s? (FG xr8)

brands... crow, wade, who else?

ideally, im wanting something midrange based, as I want low down torque BUT not too low to make it undriveable on the street/hard to launch at the drags

and I dont want to be breaking too many parts.

so I will need fuel system (will 60Lb injectors be suffice on a boss? or even the stock injectors?), and the usual 044.

with the cam install, are there any hidden extras usually involved with the install?

the factory exhaust is twin 2.25" mid section, going to a single 3" rear.

will this be flowing enough? ... im basically wanting to retain the rear muffler (the fancy one.. varex style??) ... due to IM240 testing still being up in the air over in WA

ive got a malwood opt3 clutch (with 35% extra clamp) .. so far its handled all the abuse I can throw at it (track work, drifting, and drags).

are there any driveline parts that tend to break once power is upped on these FGs?

cheers

matt

I think you should post this in the FF.com Boss section. Few guys have done cams on Boss cars with varied results. Not a cheap exercise with quad cams engines and the gains are also minimal for the $$$ spent.
